Verdict
Goldsmith bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins upped in class and raised 7lb having beaten SUNDAYINMAY by only a neck in December. The latter has subsequently gone close again in this higher grade and is taken to reverse running on more favourable terms in first-time cheekpieces. Marion's Boy finished behind the selection last time but Waterloo Sunset was beaten less than a length when fourth here back in October.
